#14959. Elegant country house with a contrasting Art Deco facade and French chalet elements

This is an exquisite country house representing a magnificent example of Art Deco architecture with elements of a French chalet. The facade demonstrates a harmonious combination of functionality and aesthetics characteristic of the early 20th century. The foundation of the facade is cream-colored stucco, contrasting with dark green wooden elements and a terracotta tiled roof.

Special attention is drawn to the asymmetrical composition of the building with expressive gabled roofs of varying heights and two massive chimneys. The architectural rhythm is created using decorative wooden beams that form a characteristic frame pattern on the facade—a technique borrowed from traditional half-timbered construction. Such facade design gives the building both monumentality and cozy intimacy.

Green window shutters and entrance doors of the same shade create a cohesive image and emphasize the connection between the house and its natural surroundings. The lower part of the facade is faced with stone, which not only provides practicality but also visually "grounds" the composition, giving it stability. The landscaping with neat shrubs and multi-level flower beds organically complements the architectural appearance.

When designing your own house, you can adopt several techniques: contrasting combination of materials (stucco, wood, stone), decorative beams to create visual interest, thoughtful color scheme with accent elements, and proper zoning of the facade vertically using different materials for the foundation and main part.
